    Their ego is disgusting, every time they open their mouths they are met with disdain and they still don’t get it.

      They don’t need to. They’re still making more each year than you or I will make in our entire lives.

          His current pay package is about $233m/yr. That’s about $112k/day. I think your math might be off. Even if you make $7.25/hr, you’ll make $112k in just over eight years. Still an absurd disparity, but not as far as you say.

            BLS lists the median annual salary as $62k. So, he does make more money in a half day than the majority of Americans make in a year. There’s no way any one person deserves that much money.

      They are probably aware but want to campaign in an effort to change public perception of AI. It will provide less resistance and more opportunities for their company as this gets forced through.

      Also, USA lives in a world where someone’s word holds no accountability. All companies/media needs to do is keep pushing how great AI is and people will start to believe it. Facts to support their opinions aren’t necessary. The blowback seen is probably from the minority of people who care about fact checking and accountability.
